RE: [PATCH] ACPI: Add _PDC object evaluate for VIA.

ditto.
init_intel_pdc() uses Intel vendor specific bits documented in 
ftp://download.intel.com/technology/IAPC/acpi/downloads/30222305.pdf
and coded into include/acpi/pdc_intel.h

If VIA is going to have any different bit definitions, then
we should really create a pdc_via.h.  But if VIA is going to re-use
the bits defined by Intel in a compatible way for the
forseeable future, then probably all we need to do is add a
comment saying that the bits VIA is using have the exact
same meaning as they do for Intel.

ps. I'm delighted to receive a patch from VIA.
Sometimes we run into failures in undocumented VIA chipsets,
perhaps you can help us when we run into those?
